[Gnu-arch-users] permissions bug

[Robert Anderson]

I am running:

tla
address@hidden/dists--tla--1.3--version-0(configs/gnu/This-release)
from regexps.com

whatever the heck that is (This-release?  Oh really?).

The bug is that changes in permissions of files are not detected
when 'tla changes' is run.  Oddly enough, changes in permissions
of directories are detected.

You can duplicate the bug by importing a tree consisting of a
single file and single directory with the world read bit set. 
Remove the world read bit on both.  Issue 'tla changes'.  The
directory will show a permissions change and the file will not.

I am using a revision library.  In the library, the file does
show the world read permission set as committed (you might expect
this is all due to the effect of umasks on the library
permissions, but it appears not.)
